dtv approved in 5 days!!

I applied on october first and 10/02 they asked me for some extra documents translated in english (i sent everything in portuguese) 

got my visa approved on 05/10 so it was only 5 days so very fast and chill process

Answer summary

A user reports their Thai DTV visa application was approved in just 5 days. They applied on October 1, provided additional required documents by the next day, and received approval on October 5. Comments from others share varied experiences: one noted a month-long wait in Portugal, another mentioned a quick 3-hour approval in Brazil, while others inquire about applying for dependents or share their own pending applications.
